To the coolest car I have ever owned, it has been a fun ride my friend. This is a hard thing to part with, but I have had my fun, and its time for me to part with it. This car has spent the majority of its life in good n' dry Arizona, and the pristine frame and suspension show it. In the past 9 months, I have put nearly 11k into this machine. I initiated the rebuild because the car was having trouble idling. to replace all belts, gaskets, piston rings, turbo seals,camshafts, injectors, and numerous other internal parts, I had spent nearly 6k. Included in this price was an additional 600 for stage 2 camshaft, and an additional 200 per cylinder for forged rings. After all was said and done with labor, it had cost me nearly 10k. About a month following the rebuild, the alternator went out, and while the car was in the shop I had the clutch replaced since I knew it was going to need it in the near future. Again, going for bigger and better I went for the stage 2 clutch upgrade which was well worth it! Pryor to my ownership, custom made aluminum headers, and a dual exhaust was installed. The stereo, speakers, and amplifier is Blaupunkt brand. Besides these things, the car is stock and runs like a top. The whole rebuild was done a mere 700 miles ago! I have taken it very easy on the car since for the break in period.

The paint on the car is not incredible. Along with being an Arizona car, came various tiny rock chips in the paint. Also the clips that attach the headlamp motors to the headlamps need replaced. I "fixed" the headlamps in the up right position until I can get the clips in.

The interior is in excellent condition and just shows slight wear on the side of the driver's seat at the stitching, the shift boot, and E-brake. The balsa wood dash shows its age with spider cracking throughout.

The previous owner informed me that back in 2000 the car was stolen, hence the reason for the rebuilt title.

please feel free to contact me with questions reguarding condition or anything concerning the sale of this car. Questions concerning the rebuild and all of the major mechanical work recently done should be addressed to the mechanic that ordered all parts, and performed the rebuild.

UPDATE 10/10/13 I found the gears I needed to fix headlights finally, I am ordering those today...

Lotus Evora GX to race in U.S. Grand-Am series

Thu, 26 Jul 2012

The Lotus Evora has taken many forms as a race car over the past few years, starting in 2009 with the Type 124 Endurance Racer built for the FIA GT. Since then, Lotus has developed a GT4 Cup version designed for a one-make series, the Evora GTE that currently competes in the GT class of the ALMS and the recently introduced Evora GTC.
Now, Lotus has released the Evora GX, a variation of the GTC tweaked to specifically meet the requirements of Grand-Am's new GX class that will launch at the start of the 2013 race season. While the two cars are very similar, using the same lightweight carbon fiber and plexiglass bodywork, the GX version gets a thicker U.S.-spec roll cage, a revised front splitter and bumper, a standard Grand-Am rear wing, yellow headlights and a new fuel filler system. ABS and traction control have also been removed per Grand-Am regulations.
Pricing for the Evora GX is listed at $335,000 with each one built to order, and one customer has already taken the plunge. McMahon Raceworks has placed an order and should have the car on the starting grid at the first race next year.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

Lotus announces race-ready Exige V6 Cup and Cup R

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

Lotus has pulled off the wraps on two new versions of the Exige: the V6 Cup and the V6 Cup R. Based on the Exige S, the V6 Cup is built to be a dual-purpose street and track machine. The 0-60 dash should take just under 3.8 seconds thanks to a full 345 horsepower from a supercharged 3.5-liter V6 engine. Weighing in at 2,380 pounds, the V6 Cup should be an absolute riot to drive, and with a full FIA-approved roll cage, fire extinguisher and six-point race harnesses on board, it's plenty safe, too. Two-way adjustable dampers are standard, as are AP Racing four-piston calipers on all four corners. More importantly, drivers can expect to find the Lotus Dynamic Performance Management system in the cockpit, complete with Touring, Sport and DPM Off modes.
The V6 Cup R, meanwhile, is both lighter and offers more horsepower than the standard V6 Cup. The same blown V6 dishes out 366 horsepower in R trim, and the whole contraption tips the scales at 2,292 pounds. Of course, the same spate of race hardware is stock, minus the DPM system. A lightweight battery, track-spec tow loops and quick-release engine cover help separate the Cup R from its more civil sibling, as do performance brake pads and better oil and water cooling systems.
Check out the brief press release below for more information. Both of the new models are headed for a debut at the 2013 Autosport International Show.
